History
Mohammad Hassani who surveyed the Persian frontier in the 1870s, describes interactions with the Mohammad Hassani (referring to them as Mamasanis). They were subjects of the Khan of Kalat; St John also recorded the existence of a blood feud between the Mamasanis and the Nushirwanis.[1]
There are various Mohammad Hassani clans in Iran, like Lar Mohammad Hassani, Sistani Mohammad Hassani, Mir Baloch Mohammad Hassani,Mir Kurd Mohammad Hassani and Mir Baloch Mohammad Hassani, each with many sub tribes and clans. Mohammad Hasni is a vast tribe which comprises into many branches Such as Dorakzai,Kiyazai,shehakzai,and many more.Consequently, the chief of this all tribe Sarder Mir Arif Jan Muhammad hassani(was martyred)Honoured an ordinary man later became Sardar Mir faheh Muhammad Hassani to lead the Kiyazai branch just.But as whole the The chief of Tribe is Sardar Mir Shabaz khan Muhammad Hassani grandson of Sardar Mir Arif Jan.And because when after death of his father Sardar Mir Rostam Jan,so he was honoured to be chief of Muhammaad Hassani Tribe at an immature age So as result His father,s brother Sardarzada Mir Ali Haider Muhammad Hassani has been dealing with all tribe. As Sardar Mir Fateh came on practical politics nationwide, so that,s why people think he is chief of all Muhammad Tribe but in reality he was made to handle the Kiyazai branch because he himself belongs to the same branch.
